But unless the ways are trashed, I think that one could actually end up
with something better than a Chinese machine at a price consistent with
a new mill/drill piece of crap.

Damn. If I'd seen this last year at this time, I'd be heading out there
with a truck and a checkbook.

It's a Bridgeport head, but the rest of the machine does not look like a
Bridgeport.

I knew something was wrong with the picture.

I kept looking at the 2 bolts holding the
head on and couldn't figure out why someone
would leave the 2 bottom ones out.


The longditudinal feed handles are missing as well , and maybe the
screw as well.

But in the first pic it shows its turbocharged so may make it worth while.

Looks like a junker to me.
